    Anderson said he had weapons in his bag, and inside the bag was a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter, according to the criminal complaint.

        I’d much rather fight someone armed with a pizza cutter than nothing at all because, what kind of a stupid ass brings a pizza cutter to a fight? That’s a crappy fighter right there.

          Depends on the pizza cutter I guess. The rolling ones, for sure, but the long heavy blade ones that you rock to cut the pizza? That could do some damage.

    Stories like this are so funny in juxtaposition to what I’ve been reading. I recently got into Arsène Lupin stories from the early 1900s (praise be royalty free) and it’s full of fanciful jail breaks and such. Where’s the impersonation of a real person? Where’s the accomplices sending messages in code? False fingers full of money? No, we get Mr. Pizza cutter. Clearly not a gentleman burglar.

    Also, L.M. is the initials of a big bad in one of the stories, lol.

        The very first book, in all its public domain glory.

        Do note that the anime is about Lupin III, which is canonically the grandson of Arsène Lupin.

            Ah yes someone beat me to it! I second the recommendation. The first two books read very much like episodes of an anime. They were released as short stories in a magazine initially, so they’re easy on the attention span.

            The third book, The Hollow Needle, is more of a novel but maintains the same qualities. After that… bit of a mood shift but you’ll just have to see. I understand that it goes back to fun episodes eventually but I’m still recovering from 813, lol.

                Yup, or at least most popular writing. The funny part was Arsène was literally conceived as a way to build off the fame of Sherlock Holmes which recently had got translated into French and released in periodicals. Arsène, being French and anti-police, immediately became a star in France, lol.
